Because I’m Forgiven

[Verse 1]
There's a reason why I bring
You this simple offering
Pouring out my love to You
And though my heart cannot express
All this joy and gratefulness
Still I sing this song of love and thanks and praise

[Chorus]
It's because I'm forgiven
It's because I am free
It's because You've shown my mercy
And You believed in me
It's because You are my Savior
It's because You are my friend
And Your love it lifts me higher
Than I've ever been

[Verse 2]
Oh the wonder of Your ways
Oh the measure of Your grace
Greater than my heart can know
So how could I not celebrate
How could I not bless Your name
Singing out a song of love and thanks and praise

[Chorus]
It's because I'm forgiven
It's because I am free
It's because You've shown my mercy
And You believed in me
It's because You are my Savior
It's because You are my friend
And Your love it lifts me higher
Than I've ever been
It's because You are my Savior
It's because You are my friend
And Your love it lifts me higher
Than I've ever been

[Ending]
So much higher
Higher than I've ever been
It's because I'm forgiven
It's because I am free
It's because I'm forgiven
It's because I am free
I'm free
